Tuba Skinny, The Full 1st Set, v. 2 @ Esplanade de la Jetée @ Andernos, France, July 28th, 2019

A lateral vision of popular Tuba Skinny in an amazing set. Never ever have you seen so many happy smiles on the faces of the members of this team of virtuoso jazz performers - they were in the groove! And so were we! Gracing France July 2019, this is the full first set of their last concert, of their three day stop-over, Sunday the 28th, in the little pleasant sea-side resort of Andernos-les-Bains, right west of Bordeaux, before their last performance in Paris. How lucky we were to be able to find this gem and being able to record this set in one go, leaving it uncut, for the audience as well as for those who couldn’t make it. The generosity of the band is outstanding, free concerts and allowing us to record so close. This is just one version of this set, many cameras were active. Happy to share, enjoy! Buying two sets of their CD recordings was just a small token of our appreciation, nothing compared to all the great work Tuba Skinny does shower us with. Shaye Cohn, leader, cornet; Craig Flory, clarinet; Barnabus Jones, trombone; Erika Lewis, drums, vocals; Max Bien Kahn, guitar, banjo; Jason Lawrence, banjo, guitar; Todd Burdick, sousaphone. Videographed with an over-head hand-held SONY HandyCam, HDR-XR520, in FH quality mode, at times in battle with a cluster of microphones and their stands.
